Chapter 162: Who’s the silly one

Translator: 549690339

“20 billion gold in exchange for a chance to increase his strength, it was impossible to say that he wasn’t tempted. ”

“Money could be earned, but opportunities to quickly improve one’s strength were hard to come by. ”

“Li xiaonian’s expression changed several times. In the end, he said regretfully, “” city Lord Yu, 20 billion gold coins may not be much to you, but to me, it is an unimaginable astronomical figure. After a short pause, li xiaonian seemed to have thought of something. His eyes brightened as he said awkwardly,””How about this? I’ll write an IOU. I’ll slowly pay you back when I have money in the future.”” ”

20 billion gold was equivalent to 2 trillion Yuan.

“The world’s richest man was only worth around 10 billion gold. Unless a large consortium invested together, an individual would not be able to gather 20 billion gold. ”

“Yu Qingfeng sneered,””if there weren’t any rules restricting the local residents, do you think you would have such an opportunity?”” I’ll give you three days to consider. After three days, I’ll take it as a rejection.”” ”

Yu Qingfeng’s figure slowly disappeared.

Li xiaonian was instantly depressed. He rubbed his head.

How could he not know that this opportunity was extremely precious to him? the key was that he did not have money.

“””Little ya, how much money can we gather in three days?”” ”

“Captain, I’ve earned a lot of money recently, but I’ve spent it all. In three days, but without spending, I can only save up to four million gold coins. the captain’s wife’s family is rich, “” Xiao Ya said. you can borrow money from your in-laws. ”

“......”

“Li xiaonian’s face darkened, but at the same time, he felt a little relieved. ”

“Snow dance was going to the ancestral land the next day, so she had made preparations for it and didn’t log into the Star Wind. Otherwise, if she found out about this, both of them would be upset. ”

“His father-in-law’s family was huge. He might be able to gather 20 billion gold coins, but he was sure that it would be a huge blow to gather so much money at once. ”

“He was only the son-in-law of the long family. If he wanted the long family to use the entire family’s power just to increase his strength, his father-in-law would probably agree. ”

“Even if he agreed, he shouldn’t be so selfish. ”

“””Xiao Ya, you can’t let Madam know about this.”” Li xiaonian reminded. ”

“alright, Xiaoya understands. Xiaoya was a little disappointed. ”

......

“Walking on the streets of Haitian city, the players were so dense that it was almost crowded. ”

“There was no other way, garen, Denton, and Sophie blocked the city gate, so no one dared to go out and die, and could only run around the city. ”

The entire Haitian city was full of complaints.

“””I can’t leave for two days. I can only stay in the city. It’s so boring.”” ”

“””Sigh ... Everyone is the same. What annoys me the most is that the main culprit, June, hasn’t appeared yet. He doesn’t even come out to clean up the mess he caused, and instead, it’s US innocent people who suffer.”” ”

“””June is indeed not right. Those three foreigners said that June’s moon is China’s number one expert. Even if she isn’t, she must be quite strong. If he works with Lord fatty, we might be able to kill those three foreigners.”” ”

“””China’s number one expert? The number one coward is the real deal.”” ”

“””June didn’t appear, and Lord fatty is nowhere to be seen. What should we do?”” ”

......

Li xiaonian didn’t feel good after hearing that.

“Suddenly, a group of sea breeze Association members wearing red medals appeared. The person in the lead stood on the high platform and said into the microphone, “” dear fellow countrymen, Haitian city is in a special crisis. In order to deal with the immediate difficulties, the sea breeze Association has taken the lead in setting up an Ocean Sky Insurance. For example, if you are accidentally sealed or suddenly suffer a huge loss, the ocean Sky Foundation will pay you a large sum of compensation. The more you purchase, the more compensation you will receive.”” ”

“The moment the Association member finished speaking, everyone was immediately enraged. ”

“d * mn, the sea breeze Association is really inhumane. They’re still thinking about making money at this point in time. Are the leaders of the sea breeze Association all pig-headed? “” ”

“””Hmph, I’m not buying some Bullsh * t insurance.”” ”

“I thought that the sea breeze Association had always been benevolent. In the end, this is all they can do. ”

......

“Seeing the crowd’s anger, Luo Fang’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was only a Finance Officer, so how could he have seen such a big scene? ”

“””Everyone, be quiet and let me finish.”” Luo Fang hurriedly shouted. ”

“The moment he finished speaking, he was immediately spurted by the crowd. ”

“””Say my ass, get lost.”” ”

that’s right. Get lost. Don’t embarrass yourself there.

“no! Luo Fang could only shout anxiously, “” the sea breeze Association promises that they will not take a single cent of the profits generated by sea breeze insurance. ”

“......”

“......”

“......”

Everyone was slightly stunned.

“Luo Fang hurriedly took the opportunity to explain. all the profits generated by sea breeze insurance will be used for public services. For example, three experts are blocking the city. Sea breeze insurance will issue a high reward for killing the enemy. ”

“Everyone was puzzled,””is there a cat that doesn’t steal fish?”” You’re not trying to fool us, right?”” ”

“Luo Fang took out a document. everyone should be clear about the sea breeze Association’s style. If they say they won’t make money, they won’t. On the contrary, we’ll also make an advance of the first sum of funds. The total amount will be two million gold coins. What I’ve said has been verified and supervised by the game system. You can question the sea breeze Association, but you can’t question the game system.”” ”

Everyone came to a realization.

“””Not bad, not bad. This is good.”” ”

“no matter how much the insurance claims, I’ll buy it. ”

“””It’s just a small amount of money. As long as we can get out of the city, I’m willing to pay any amount.”” ”

......

“In the blink of an eye, everyone rushed to the stage and bought insurance. ”

Li xiaonian’s eyes twinkled.

“The sea breeze Association said that they were not making money, but they did not say that they could not embezzle funds. If it was in the real world, it would definitely be illegal, but this was Star Wind. ”

“At this thought, li xiaonian contacted Xiaoya with his mind. “”Little ya, do we have a chance to use this method to raise 20 billion gold in three days?”” ”

“Xiao Ya had a headache. it’s possible, but I’d like to remind you that you must never touch the currency cake. Otherwise, you’ll be targeted by unimaginably terrifying powerhouses. If it’s light, you’ll be sealed forever. If it’s serious, you’ll die directly and even implicate your loved ones. “”Even if the sea breeze Association isn’t making a profit, they’ve crossed the bottom line. It won’t be long before they’ll be severely punished.”” ”

“Li xiaonian shuddered. forget it, forget it. I’d better just earn money honestly and be an honest resident of Xing Feng. ”

“Li xiaonian thought for a moment, and in the end, he could not bear to do it. He opened the friend system, entered the three words ‘Yan Nanyu’, and requested to add her as a friend. ”

Ding ...

“The system replied, [ the other party has agreed. You are now friends with him. ] ”

“Yan Nanyu was overjoyed and sent a message, “” “”You’re going to deal with the three foreigners?”” ”

“””I’ve said before that I’m not strong enough to be their match. I’m only looking for you because I don’t want to see you guys in trouble. Now, immediately, hurry up, stop the sea breeze insurance. The money cake of the StarWind world is not something that us little Inhumans can touch, unless you want to die.”” ”

“After reading Li xiaonian’s message, Yan Nanyu suddenly thought of something. He was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.””Thank you,”” he said. ”

......

The three foreigners were unable to solve the problem.

Li xiaonian left the astral winds world and dialed ye Lingtian’s number.

“””What is it?”” ”

Ye Lingtian seemed to be in a bad mood and her tone was a little harsh.

“””The Army should already know that Haitian city is surrounded by three foreigners, right? when are they going to take action?”” li xiaonian asked in embarrassment. How much longer do you need?”” ”

“Ye Lingtian’s mood relaxed and she sighed,””this matter is a little troublesome to deal with.”” Sophie had the ability to travel through space. Even if the Army made a move, they were not sure if they could keep the other party, and they might even be killed. One of their targets is you, while the other is our top-tier Chinese experts. If you can take away one or two of our top-tier experts ‘corpses, it will be enough to force the Army to order you to release Gaoye.”” ”

“Li xiaonian’s heart sank,’where’s the sacred followers Guild in China? They’re not willing to help?”” ”

“Li xiaonian recalled the mysterious powerhouses he had met on the beach. If he was willing to help and join hands with fatty Luo, they should have a high chance of keeping one or two of them. ”

“I contacted a few, but they didn’t have much confidence. Her spatial ability is too strange. Normal spatial seals have no effect on her. ”

“Li xiaonian said calmly,””so, the Army can’t do anything?”” Let them do whatever they want?”” ”

“Ye Lingtian chuckled. that’s the only thing we can do for now. However, they will have to compensate for the losses they have caused. If they don’t compensate us, China will return the favor. We won’t let you release Gaoye. ”

“Li xiaonian furrowed his brows and thought for a moment. He then said awkwardly,””What if I have a way to deal with it?”” ”

“””Are you sure?”” ye Lingtian asked in shock. ”

“””It’s possible, but the price is a little high, 20 billion gold coins.”” Li xiaonian said with a guilty conscience. ”

“......”

“Ye Lingtian’s face darkened. you’re so arrogant. You’re asking for 20 billion and it’s in gold coins. Why don’t you just Rob someone? “” You can’t be thinking that just because you’ve earned some money, you can disregard 20 billion gold coins, right?”” ”

“””I’m just telling the truth,”” li xiaonian straightened his back and replied. ”

“After a short pause, ye Lingtian said,””20 billion gold with an annual interest of 10%. I’ll get the finance department to raise the money in three years.”” ”

“......”

Li xiaonian was stunned.

“””Is there a problem?”” ye Lingtian continued. ”

“Li xiaonian came back to his senses and hurriedly said, “” “”I’m a first-class Military Merit holder. Shouldn’t I be exempted from interest and have a longer repayment period?”” ”

“The 10% interest per year might seem bearable, but the amount of funds required was too huge. Just the interest alone would cost 2 billion gold per year. ”

“Just the interest alone was already insufficient, not to mention the capital of 20 billion. ”

“””Don’t be too greedy. Without military merits, the Army won’t lend you a single cent. Not to mention, you don’t have anything to pledge. If you don’t want to borrow it, then forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”” ”

“””Borrow, I must borrow.”” ”

Li xiaonian gritted his teeth and answered with certainty.

“What’s there to be afraid of? those who owe money are all big bosses. The more they owe, the more secure their personal safety will be. If they die, no one will pay them back. ”

“alright, you have the guts. Enter the star Wind now, I’ll arrange for someone to meet you. ”

“Seeing that the call was about to end, li xiaonian hurriedly said, “” “”Cousin, you can’t let your cousin know about this. You must keep it a secret. Otherwise, I won’t lend it to you.”” ”

“””No problem,”” ye Lingtian replied with a smile. ”

......

Back to the star Wind.

Li xiaonian was waiting at the small seaside villa.

“It had to be said that the Army was very efficient. Twenty minutes later, a woman in a dry dress appeared at the door. ”

“Upon seeing li xiaonian, Qi Jiayin saluted. I’m Qi Jiayin, the overseer of Haitian city. I’ve received orders from my superior to come in contact with you. ”

“””Please come in, please come in.”” Li xiaonian said enthusiastically. ”

“Qi Jiayin nodded and entered the room. She took out a document and said, “” “”Mr. Li, please take a look at the loan contract. If there’s no problem, please sign it.”” ”

“Li xiaonian opened the contract, and his face turned black after reading it. ”

“The contract stated that if he couldn’t pay off the loan within three years, all his property, including the StarWind world and the real world, would belong to the Army. ”

“In line with humanitarian principles, if he was not willing to hand over all his personal property, he would have to serve the Army for free. He would have to work eight hours a day, and the rest of his time was free to use. He would regain his freedom when he paid off the loan. ”

“””Officer Qi, are you sure you didn’t get the wrong contract?”” Li xiaonian asked with a darkened face. ”

“this is general ye’s order, “” Qi Jiayin replied seriously. she said that if you’re unwilling, then forget it. ”

“......”

Li xiaonian suddenly felt that he had been tricked.

“As long as he signed the contract, he would be able to obtain 20 billion in funds. Correspondingly, the pressure on him would instantly increase. If he couldn’t pay it back, the consequences would be extremely troublesome. ”

“After hesitating for a long time, li xiaonian asked Xiaoya telepathically, “” “”Little ya, can we earn 26 billion gold coins in three years?”” ”

“Xiao Ya was helpless. it’s possible, but the repair of the shadow will be very slow. Captain, you can sign it without worry. There’s no problem with the contract. ”

Li xiaonian only signed his name on the contract after getting an affirmative answer.

“you ... Qi Jiayin was stunned. you ... You really signed it?”” ”

“””What else can I do if I don’t sign it?”” li xiaonian said angrily. ”

“Qi Jiayin looked at li xiaonian sympathetically and said,”” general ye also said that if you refuse this contract, you can sign another contract. I don’t know what the other contract is about. ”

Puchi ~

Li xiaonian almost choked.

He finally understood why his wife hated ye Lingtian so much. That woman relied on her intelligence to scheme against everyone.

“There was no need to guess. Ye Lingtian must have calculated his thoughts and his ability to withstand it, forcing him to the edge of the cliff. ”

Qi Jia revealing the second contract was definitely ye Lingtian’s idea to make him angry.

“Li xiaonian’s face darkened as he thought of this.””The contract has been signed. Give me the money.”” ”

Ding ...

“The system replied,’your account has been transferred 20 billion gold coins, account balance: 200,000,000, 636.56 gold coins.”” ”

“Qi Jiayin saluted again. Mr. Li, I’ve completed my mission. Is there anything else you need me to tell general ye? “” she asked. ”

“Li xiaonian thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said,””No, I didn’t,”” ”

“The contract had already been signed, so there was no point in saying anything else. It would only make ye Lingtian even more smug. ”

......

In the real world.

Qi Jiayin and ye Lingtian used 3D projection communication to report the situation.

“After hearing the report, ye Lingtian couldn’t help but giggle. my cousin-in-law is so confident. He must be very angry now. Yes, yes, it’s right to be angry. ”

“little Tian, “” Ling Zhiyuan said sympathetically, “” li xiaonian is an elite of our Huaxia after all. Isn’t it a little too much to do this? “” ”

“Ye Lingtian smiled. general, he’s my cousin-in-law. Why would I harm him? I’ll give him some pressure so that he can become stronger as soon as possible. ”

“Ling Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief. that’s true. If we really can’t pay off the loan by then, we can relax the deadline. ”

“Ye Lingtian rolled her eyes. elder Ling, rules are rules. If he can’t pay back the money normally, everything will be carried out according to the contract. ”

“””Alright, alright, we’ll listen to you on this matter.”” ”

......

He received a 20 billion loan.

Li xiaonian rushed to the city Lord’s mansion at once.

“He was now very curious about what kind of opportunity could be worth 20 billion. As for the scam? He didn’t think that city Lord Yu had the guts to lie to him, who was a Saint representative. ”

“Deceiving him was equivalent to slapping Liu Sheng’s face. Even if Liu Sheng didn’t mind offending a Saint, she would definitely suffer. ”

He passed through the crowd.

They were getting closer and closer to the city Lord’s mansion.

Suddenly! ????????n????????аd. ????????????

Weng ~

A spatial tunnel appeared in the air.

“Sophie, Denton, and garen appeared one after another. ”

“Garen recognized li xiaonian at a glance. He reached out to stop him and said in a loud voice,”” June, I think we need to have a talk. ”

“Garen’s voice had a strong penetrating power, almost spreading throughout the entire Haitian city. ”

“””June?”” ”

that guy is June. He has been hiding in Haitian city all this time.

......

“Li xiaonian, who was being watched by everyone, became calm. He looked at garen and said, “” “”What do you want to talk about? If you want to redeem your brother’s body, I’ll still say the same thing. 5 billion gold coins and two pieces of holy equipment.”” ”

“Garen’s face darkened, and he said coldly,””sure, but I have a condition.”” You and Denton can have a fair fight. If you win, we will pay the ransom as you said. If you lose, you will hand over Gaoye’s body.”” ”

“When the crowd heard this, they immediately sucked in a cold breath. ”

“””Hiss ~”” ”

“””My God, a game body for five billion gold coins? And two pieces of holy equipment? Are in-game bodies that valuable?”” ”

Gulp ...

“A young man swallowed his saliva. f * ck, if a body in the game is really that valuable, why are we still farming monsters? as long as there are top-tier experts fighting, we’ll join in. If we pick up a corpse, wouldn’t we be rich? “” ”

“um ... Brother, wake up. If you want to make a fortune by picking up corpses, you must first have a sealing scroll. It’s hard to say the price of a sealing scroll. It can range from hundreds of thousands to millions, or even higher. Do you have hundreds of thousands of gold coins? “” ”

The young man’s face froze.

“It was not over yet. Another player said, “” the sealing scroll is not enough. You still need strength. If you don’t have enough strength, you’ll probably be killed by the shockwaves before you can even get close to the battle between top-tier experts. ”

The young man instantly shut up.

......

“Li xiaonian looked at the inferno warrior Denton and said coldly, “” “”Do you think I’m an idiot when you propose a condition that you’ll definitely win? How about I fight you?”” ”

“Garen’s face stiffened. If the quasi-S-grade Warframe had not been taken away, he would have agreed without hesitation. Unfortunately, his most powerful equipment had been taken away by the detestable fatty. ”

“He clenched his fist and then released it. He suppressed his anger and said, “” “”I can give you the ransom, but at most 100 million gold coins, not a single cent more. You can refuse, but we will continue to hunt Chinese experts until you agree.”” ”

Li xiaonian shook his head. I won’t lower the ransom by a single bit. Just give up.

“””It’s not impossible to have a fight,”” li xiaonian said after a short pause. As he spoke, li xiaonian pointed his finger at the blonde beauty, Su Fei.””I want to fight her. As long as she can defeat me, I will naturally return the body to you. Otherwise, everything will be considered as my fault.” ”

Sophie was shocked.

Denton was also stunned.

The onlookers ‘mouths twitched when they saw li xiaonian’s choice.

“choosing a space mage without any combat ability, how dare June say that. ”

“””F * ck, why do I feel so embarrassed? I don’t want to stay here anymore.”” ”

......

“After garen recovered from his shock, he said with a dark expression, “” June, you’re despicable. Sophie is only a space mage and has no combat ability. ”

“Garen put on an aggrieved expression, but he was laughing wildly in his heart. Of all the people he could have chosen, he chose the strongest Sophie, what a big idiot. ”

“””Since you don’t want to, then forget it,”” li xiaonian shrugged. ”

“Garen showed a conflicted expression, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “” okay, you fight with Sophie. If Sophie wins by chance, you must release Gaoye unconditionally. ”

“””I won,”” li xiaonian added,””the ransom will be as I said.”” ”

“In order to put on an act, garen looked at Sophie, “” “”Can I?”” ”

“””I guess so.”” Su Fei nodded with a stiff face. ”

“After getting an answer, garen continued to press on, “” “”Since that’s the case, words are not proof. Let’s sign a contract.”” ”

“Li xiaonian nodded. we can sign the contract. However, I’ll decide the duration of the battle. It won’t exceed eight days. ”

“With his current strength, fighting with Sophie was simply courting death. He had to get an opportunity from city Lord Yu first. ”

“””Alright,”” he said. ”

Garen nodded. it just so happens that we also need to make some preparations.

Under everyone’s gaze.

Li xiaonian and garen signed a simple contract.

“Garen was excited to receive the contract, but he kept a straight face and left with Sophie and Denton. ”

“After entering the sealed Tavern, garen couldn’t hold it in any longer and laughed madly, “” “”Hahaha, that stupid pig June, of all people, she had to choose Sophie. This time, we can finally save Gaoye.”” ”

“Denton smiled, feeling very happy. ”

“Only Sophie was expressionless. She looked out of the window and muttered to herself, “” I don’t know where June’s confidence comes from. I hope I’m not overthinking. ”
